Youth

We combine a fun, positive training environment with expert instruction for children of all ages. Junior Karate classes help children and teens develop coordination, confidence, self-discipline and respect for authority.

Karate has many benefits for children. With childhood obesity becoming more common and childhood type 2 diabetes at record highs, the importance of physical activity must not be ignored. Karate is a fun and interesting way for children to exercise but also prepares a child for life by developing four essential areas necessary to excel:

Self-Confidence: With encouragement and support from expert instructors and parents, they learn to rise to the occasion when faced with challenges.

Etiquette: Through the traditions of Karate, children learn to be polite and to respect their instructors, fellow-students, and parents.

Discipline/Concentration: Children react well to structure and discipline, and quickly develop self-discipline. A child's concentration is enhanced as they focus their mind on an objective and many parents notice a marked improvement in their child's concentration.

Fun: Karate is also a lot of fun for kids and their parents!
